 Pharmacology and Abuse of Cocaine, Amphetamines, Ecstasy and Related Designer Drugs By Enno Freye 2010 | 300 Pages | ISBN: 9048124476 | PDF | 6 MB [center]  Cynthia Clay, Ray Olitt, "Peer Power: Transforming Workplace Relationships" English | 2012 | ISBN: 1118205456, 0976458721 | 320 pages | PDF | 3.7 MB To get things done, you probably work with others. When conflict or tension arises, do you always know the best strategy at the right time to transform the outcome? Peer Power provides the keys to effective interpersonal collaboration. Building on a foundation of four principles, you will expand your ability to positively influence others. From the "drive-by boss" and the "faux-smart" boss to the "whiner" and the "clueless colleague," the book exposes nine behavior patterns that may challenge you at work. Rather than pointing fingers at others, Peer Power encourages you to modify your behavior so you can influence changes in their behavior.

The two-part treatment begins with the derivation of optimality conditions and discussions of convex programming, duality, generalized convexity, and analysis of selected nonlinear programs. The second part concerns techniques for numerical solutions and unconstrained optimization methods, and it presents commonly used algorithms for constrained nonlinear optimization problems. This g.  Noise uprising: the audiopolitics of a world musical revolution By Michael Denning 2015 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 1781688567 | PDF | 5 MB A radically new reading of the origins of recorded musicNoise Uprising brings to life the moment and sounds of a cultural revolution. Between the development of electrical recording in 1925 and the outset of the Great Depression in the early 1930s, the soundscape of modern times unfolded in a series of obscure recording sessions, as hundreds of unknown musicians entered makeshift studios to record the melodies and rhythms of urban streets and dancehalls. The musical styles and idioms etched onto shellac disks reverberated around the globe: among them Havana's son, Rio's samba, New Orleans' jazz, Buenos Aires' tango, Seville's flamenco, Cairo's tarab, Johannesburg's marabi, Jakarta's kroncong, and Honolulu's hula. They triggered the first great battle over popular music and became the soundtrack to decolonization.

Catherine Sanok, "New Legends of England: Forms of Community in Late Medieval Saints' Lives " English | ISBN: 0812249828 | 2018 | 360 pages | PDF | 4 MB In New Legends of England, Catherine Sanok examines a significant, albeit previously unrecognized, phenomenon of fifteenth-century literary culture in England: the sudden fascination with the Lives of British, Anglo-Saxon, and other native saints. Embodying a variety of literary forms-from elevated Latinate verse, to popular traditions such as the carol, to translations of earlier verse legends into the medium of prose-the Middle English Lives of England's saints are rarely discussed in relation to one another or seen as constituting a distinct literary genre. However, Sanok argues, these legends, when grouped together were an important narrative forum for exploring overlapping forms of secular and religious community at local, national, and supranational scales: the monastery, the city, and local cults; the nation and the realm; European Christendom and, at the end of the fifteenth century, a world that was suddenly expanding across the Atlantic. |
